Package: mount
Version: 2.16.2-0
Severity: minor
A typical situation:
$ umount -fl /home ; mount /home
umount: /home: not mounted
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
Hm?
$ ls /etc/init.d/*stat*
<noting>
Eh?
$ /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop ; /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
That should do it, let's check:
$ umount -fl /home ; mount /home
umount: /home: not mounted
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
No kidding? ..it appears that the magic happens in:
$ /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop ; /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
$ umount -fl /home ; mount /home
BINGO!
SUGGESTION
If possible, please improve the error message to point to restart
/etc/init.d/nfs-common
under Debian, because the message "start statd" isn't very helpful.
